Xu Hai originally thought that choosing this conservative fighting method would make it easier for him to complete the mission.
But he didn't expect that the opponent's old boxing champion's fighting style would be so explosive.
Especially when the opponent discovered that he planned to use this turtle shell tactic to delay time and find opportunities to consume his own energy, the fighting style instantly became extremely violent.
And every attack seems to directly determine the outcome, and every time he takes action, he will use all his strength.
Under such circumstances, Xu Hai had no way to parry, let alone distance himself from the opponent and swim away.
Every time, he must use all his strength to resist the opponent's attack. If he is not careful, he may be seriously injured and completely lose his ability to fight.
Every time he deals with the opponent's attack, Xu Hai is like walking a tightrope. If he is not careful, he will be doomed.
There was an obvious gap in strength between the two sides, and Xu Hai's physical strength was rapidly depleted in such a fierce battle.
Qin Tian in the audience could clearly feel at this time that Xu Hai seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. Although on the surface it seemed that he and the other party were back and forth, at least he could still withstand the other party's attack.
But Qin Tian could see that Xu Hai's defense had begun to become full of loopholes. As long as the old boxing champion seized an opportunity, he could kill him with one blow.
However, Qin Tian did not warn Li Jiangtao, nor did he try to persuade Li Jiangtao to admit defeat.
After all, Qin Tian and Xu Hai are not familiar with each other, and this is the most cruel aspect of the battle. Xu Hai's job is to fight for the Li family, so even if his life is in danger in this battle, Qin Tian will not spare any effort.
This is also the principle that Qin Tian has always adhered to in life. If it has nothing to do with him, he should try not to meddle in other matters.
Doing this may make people feel a little irresponsible, but there are many unreasonable or bad things happening in this world all the time, and Qin Tian is only one person, how can he manage it?
Moreover, Qin Tian also has three daughters and a family of his own to take care of, so he doesn't have that much energy to meddle in other people's affairs.
Everyone has his own way of living and his own ending. All Qin Tian has to do is live his own life and be responsible for himself and the people around him.
Sure enough, Xu Hai's next battle in the ring was basically what Qin Tian expected.
He seemed to be able to withstand the opponent's attacks and seemed to still have the energy to fight.
But as the old boxing champion suddenly caught a huge loophole in Xu Hai's defense, he quickly launched a thunderous blow.
Moreover, this time the old boxing champion used all his strength to attack the target that would kill him with one blow.
Xu Hai could feel the murderous intent of the opponent, but he overestimated his own strength. He felt that he could still block the attack by trying his best to defend it.
And he has not forgotten the task Li Jiangtao assigned to him, which is to test the strength of the old boxing champion and preferably force the opponent to use some powerful moves.
Therefore, Xu Hai's inner plan was that he must bear this attack hard, and then shout to admit defeat after the attack was settled, so that he could explain to Li Jiangtao when he returned.
But he never expected that the power of the opponent's attack would be so terrifying that the two arms he put in front of him looked like they were made of tofu.
Although he was fully prepared to block the opponent's attack, the moment the powerful force collided with his arm, the sound of broken bones was heard instantly.
Xu Hai's two arms were shattered in an instant, and then they were knocked to both sides. The middle door opened wide, and the old boxing champion's fist hit Xu Hai's chest hard.
Xu Hai could feel that almost all of his ribs were broken, and his heart was compressed and almost stopped.
Then his body was like a kite with its string cut off, and was blown away by the old boxing champion. He flew directly to a place outside the ring, and then fell heavily to the ground unable to move.
Xu Hai's body suddenly trembled a few times, and then he spat out a large amount of blood from his mouth. Then he rolled his eyes and passed out.
But it was precisely because of this that Xu Hai was unable to end the game by shouting the words "I surrender" by himself.
Although Li Jiangtao was ready to admit defeat for him after seeing this scene, the old boxing champion was faster.
Almost like a bolt of lightning, the old boxing champion came in front of Xu Hai and stepped on the chest of Xu Hai, who was already unconscious on the ground.
The next scene was horrifying to watch. Xu Hai's chest was like the ground sinking. He was stepped on by the old boxing champion and made a big hole. The heart, lungs and some organs inside were trampled to pieces.
Under such circumstances, even if the gods came, it would be impossible to save him. No one expected that this was the first official match of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Tournament, and that someone would die directly.
The old boxing champion became famous in one battle. Through this battle and the tragic ending, he announced to the world that he was the king.
At this moment, the entire lake shore was silent. Li Jiangtao stared at everything in the distance with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
His mouth still remained open, because the words "I surrender" were on his lips just now and he shouted out immediately. As a result, he saw the thug in his hand died tragically at the opponent's feet.
After a while, the first referee who came to his senses finally came to the ring and announced loudly.
"I declare that the final winner of this competition is Mr. Chen Liangchen, the leader of the White Tiger Gang!"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Liang's men from the White Tiger Gang immediately burst into cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami. Everyone stood up and applauded to welcome the return of the old boxing champion.
Chen Liang made a thumbs down gesture towards Li Jiangtao, obviously humiliating Li Jiangtao crazily.
Although Li Jiangtao was extremely angry at this time, almost to the extreme, he could do nothing.
Although Xu Hai was not the most powerful fighter among his men, he never thought that his purpose was already very simple, which was to ask Xu Hai to help test the old boxing champion's current strength.
There is no need for him to be able to defeat the opponent, as long as he can deceive the opponent with one or two tricks.
But he didn't expect that Xu Hai, let alone letting the old boxing champion fight him with all his strength, leaked some tricks, and even lost his life within a few rounds.
At this time, Li Jiangtao glanced behind him. All the men behind him were silent. No one took the initiative to take revenge on Xu Ye at this time.
The behavior of everyone actually showed their attitude, that is, they believed that they were no match for the old boxing champion, so no one was willing to stand up and challenge the opponent at this time.
Because there is no difference between this and dying. The old boxing champion's fighting style is too terrifying. He doesn't even have a chance to admit defeat. How can he fight?
The reason why these thugs joined the Li family was to earn some money to support their families and to live a better life for themselves and their families.
Although it doesn't mean that you can't risk your life, but in the face of this almost certain death situation, only a fool will go up and die obediently.
Although Li Jiangtao looked very ugly, he did not force everyone to help the Li family to fight. If he pushed too hard, he would arouse everyone's resentment. When the trouble was too ugly, no one would be able to step down.
As for the failure of this battle, it means that the Li family will pay a heavy price.
According to the rules of the Jiangnan Tournament, the loser in the battle must give up part of his subordinates' interests to the winner. What these interests are specifically will not be discussed in detail during the tournament.
However, it will be recorded by the organizer of the competition and will be negotiated after most of the competition is over.
In the past, there were people who failed to win a single match in the Jiangnan Martial Arts Competition and almost ended in total defeat.
And when this man left the tournament, he had transformed from the underground emperor of a small city into a pauper.
Almost all the properties under his control were handed over to others. This is the cruel part of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Tournament, and it is also the true purpose of this tournament.
That is to prevent the major forces in the Jiangnan region from having too intense head-on conflicts and violent incidents.
The interests must be distributed through this method of finding masters for duel, so that the overall strength of the Jiangnan region can be preserved to avoid being taken advantage of by forces from other regions.
Chen Liang won the competition, but he was not ready to let Li Jiangtao go.
He still said very hypocritically to Li Jiangtao.
"Old Li, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect that the men you sent would be so careless. I have obviously asked the old boxing champion to show some mercy."
"And it's true that he didn't use all his strength. What's the name of the one under your command? Xu Hai, right? How come he couldn't withstand it and was trampled to death?"
"Oh, I'm really sorry, Lao Li. I've made it hard for you right from the start. Otherwise, I'll let the old boxing champion fight with you, and I'll give you three more chances to send people to fight. You send people one by one. Come challenge him, as long as you beat me, how about all the things we have done before are wiped out?"
When he said these words, Chen Liang always looked at Li Jiangtao with a smile.
Anyone with normal intelligence can see what Chen Liang is planning.
He clearly wanted the old boxing champion to directly challenge everyone on Li Jiangtao's side and completely destroy his side.
This almost means that Li Jiangtao is out of the game, and no matter who challenges the Li family in the future, Li Jiangtao will have no chance of winning.
After this Jiangnan martial arts competition is over, the strength and status of the Li family will inevitably plummet, and will even be cannibalized by many small forces and small families.
As the head of the family, Li Jiangtao still had some ability and patience, so he was directly stimulated to agree to the challenge without a few words from the other party.
Li Jiangtao said with a sneer.
"Chen Liang, we have been enemies for so many years. Please stop using such meaningless tricks with me. There is no way I will be fooled."
"I didn't expect that you could find an old boxing champion from the Peninsula to fight for you this time, but don't be too happy too soon."
"As the saying goes, the first shot is the first to win. Don't think that if you have a boxing champion, you can go sideways in this year's Jiangnan Martial Arts Tournament."
"There are far more masters and geniuses in this world than you think!"
Facing Li Jiangtao's unyielding words, Chen Liang also responded in kind.
"Haha, Lao Li, don't tell me whether you have these things or not. I just hope you can weigh your own weight carefully."
"You'd better consider your situation first before talking to me."
After saying that, Chen Liang sat down directly, and the old boxing champion also returned to his camp to rest.
The Jiangnan Martial Arts Tournament is not just one match. The old boxing champion will definitely have to fight many times after that, so after each battle, he must conserve his energy to deal with new battles at any time.
As Chen Liang said before, the person who should really be restless now is Li Jiangtao.
Because of Xu Hai's previous failure, many people at the Jiangnan Martial Arts Tournament now regard Li Jiangtao as a soft persimmon.
"Mr. Li, I want to challenge you!"
"I want to challenge the Li family!"
Within half an hour, six or seven family representatives took the initiative to challenge Li Jiangtao.
These people obviously want to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the low morale of the Li family to cut their flesh from them.
Of course, Li Jiangtao cannot sit still and wait for death, and if he refuses the challenge in the Jiangnan Martial Arts Tournament, the opponent will be directly judged as the winner.
Li Jiangtao can't even leave midway, because once he leaves, he will be judged as a total defeat. At that time, each family will form a committee to dismantle the force or family that withdraws from the tournament.
In the past, it was not that no one left midway due to anger or lack of appetite, and in the end these people often ended up very miserable.
Soon after the tournament ends, such a force will fall apart under the joint attack of everyone, and all the property and industry under its control will be distributed to everyone.
So either die fighting here, or escape and wait for the aftermath.
No matter what, the final outcome must be tragic, so in recent years, almost no one will leave in the middle of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Tournament.
Because everyone knows that leaving midway will not end well, so it is better to give it a try, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope.
Maybe it was because Xu Hai's failure and death at the beginning had such a heavy blow to the morale of the Li family.
Even some people who Li Jiangtao thought had a chance to win, all lost after they went out to fight.
In less than an hour, Li Jiangtao has suffered more than a dozen defeats, and now the Li family has lost nearly half of its original property.
If this continues, Li Jiangtao may become a polished commander before long.
At this time, Li Jiangtao was very anxious, but he was helpless and didn't know how to deal with this situation.
He never expected that Chen Liang could invite all the kings in the peninsula region, and attack him as soon as he came up, making him the target of everyone.
At this moment, Li Jinrui suddenly spoke.
"Mr. Li, you don't know how to break the situation. Why don't you choose to seek help from Mr. Qin?" (End of Chapter)
